WELCOmE TO ADvANCED ENERGY 2010 Welcome to the most important conference you will attend this year on the most important subject on our national agenda. If you are reading this on November 8 or 9, 2010, at Advanced Energy 2010, you don’t need anyone else to tell you why energy is the crucial challenge facing humanity today. You get it and you are here for answers, ideas and new questions. You’ve come to the right place. Last year’s conference was the biggest such event ever held in New York State to address this critical issue, and Advanced Energy 2010 has leaped far beyond it. We have moved to a larger venue this year with an even larger two-day schedule of more than 220 energy subject matter experts, organized into 49 sessions in 7 tracks to dig deeply into these profound and diverse issues. We are especially pleased to partner again with Brookhaven National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy on four dedicated sessions. DOE representatives will showcase advanced programs from our national energy laboratory system and the Offices of Science, Electricity, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Additional program partners this year include the New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST), the New York Energy Policy Institute (NYEPI), the New York State Smart Grid Consortium (NYSSGC), the College of Engineering at the University At Buffalo, Syracuse University’s Center of Excellence, Cornell University, NYU-POLY and much coordination, content and planning from NYSERDA and NYPA. The Smart Grid, as a subset of a larger Smart Infrastructure, is a major aspect of the industrial transformation that is creating the energy industry of the future, where the electric power grid will be made “smart” enough not only to cope with projected growth curves, but also to meet the challenge of seamlessly integrating alternative and renewable sources. The challenges are of historic proportions, but so are the possibilities. You will be hearing about many of these New York State programs including those housed at the Advanced Energy Center.
WELCOmE TO ADvANCED ENERGY 2010 This conference could not take place without the generous support of our humblingly large number of sponsors, who have given unstintingly not only of their tangible resources but also of their knowledge and expertise to help create a program of lasting value for all participants. You will see the sponsors’ names in many forms, but we want to extend our personal thanks here: Host sponsors GE NYSERDA NYPA Stony Brook University platinuM sponsors IBm LIPA National Grid verizon

A WORD FROm OUR HOSTS Aging infrastructures, increasing energy demand and sustainability concerns present our industry with a tremendous opportunity to drive global innovation. As the largest per capita consumers of energy in the world, the United States has both the opportunity and the responsibility to be at the forefront of this revolution. Our forward-thinking decisions today will deliver a secure, robust energy landscape tomorrow. GE is honored to sponsor the 2010 Advanced Energy Conference. We welcome each of you to this event – and congratulate you on your commitment to modernizing the way we generate, deliver and consume energy. – Bob Gilligan, Vice President, GE’s Digital Energy business As the Advanced Energy Conference demonstrates, New York’s unique mix of technology, talent, capital and policies makes our state fertile ground for clean technology companies to thrive and grow for decades to come. Driven by ambitious clean energy targets and supported by a strong partnership between academia and the public and private sectors, New York’s innovation economy will continue to produce cutting edge energy solutions needed to meet the challenges of the future. In our support of the clean energy industry, NYSERDA offers funding and assistance to help business develop, demonstrate and commercialize energy innovations, so that all New Yorkers can increase their energy efficiency, save money, and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. – Francis J. Murray, NYSERDA President and CEO The Advanced Energy 2010 Conference is a great opportunity for clean energy pioneers to spotlight what’s taking place for advancing renewable energy supplies and promoting a more efficient and reliable electric power system. This is an exciting time in our industry for capitalizing on ‘smart-grid’ and clean energy technologies for improving the operation of generating, transmission and distribution facilities while combating global-warming greenhouse gas emissions and creating new high-tech jobs. The Advanced Energy Conference will reinforce these ideas and underscore the importance New York is giving to clean energy technologies for furthering the state’s economy and environment. – richard M. Kessel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the New York Power Authority “We have met the enemy and he is us” is as true about our insatiable appetite for energy today as it was 40 years ago when the phrase was coined in reference to the impact of pollution on our planet. In fact, its implications may be even more significant today since we have discovered much about reversing damage done and how to preserve the quality of our environment, and yet remain substantially challenged to effectively do so. As a top research university, Stony Brook believes in and thrives on the power of innovation. It is a source of great pride to be part of an institution at which some of the newest discoveries and technology in advanced and renewable energy have emerged a result of intense dedication of our faculty, students and staff, with support from the National Science Foundation and other important funding sources, and in collaboration with business and community leaders. Through the advanced energy research and technology Center, Stony Brook will continue to reach out in these ways. The exceptional program offered at Advanced Energy 2010 will open countless opportunities as we prepare to share information, advance technology and find solutions to our energy challenges. We are still at the beginning of the learning curve when it comes to developing ideas and technology that will help us reverse harmful energy trends so we can successfully increase energy efficiency; reduce our carbon footprint; and, do more of what we need and want to do with less energy. We are in the right place at the right time, because Advanced Energy 2010 has brought together a great many people with very interesting ideas and solutions in all of these key areas. – Dr. samuel l. stanley, President, Stony Brook University

Additionally Walker serves as the senior S&T leadership representative to OSTP, the Congress, the IC, and OGOs internationally. He joined the S&T Directorate in January, 2007. Dr. Walker joined the Office of Naval Research in September 2004 and served as the Technical Director and Chief Scientist reporting directly to the Chief of Naval Research. Working with the CNR, Dr. Walker was responsible for structuring and leading an S&T organization that ensures technological superiority for the Navy and marine Corps. Dr. Walker’s budget authority was annually $2,200m, plus an additional average Congressional plus-up of $700m, and Dr. Walker served in a supervisory role for a workforce of 5494 civilian and military for ONR and ONR’s Corporate Laboratory, the Naval Research Laboratory. Dr. Walker is a former member of the Senior Executive Service and served as the Senior Advisor for Science & Technology to stand up the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) from 1999-2003.

Dr. Walker is a member of the American Physical Society, American Nuclear Society, and the Cosmos Club. CHANCELLOR NANCY ZImPHER Chancellor of the state university of new York (sunY) On June 1, 2009, Nancy Zimpher became the 12th Chancellor of the State University of New York by unanimous vote of the SUNY Board of Trustees. With more than 465,000 students, SUNY is the nation’s largest comprehensive system of higher education. A dynamic and nationally recognized leader, Chancellor Zimpher is known as an effective agent of change in education. She started her career as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in the Ozarks and has never lost her passion for providing accessible, quality education for every student. Chancellor Zimpher began her work at SUNY with a statewide tour of SUNY’s 64 campuses, which became the first phase of a systemwide strategic planning process. This plan, called The Power of SUNY, was launched in April 2010, with the central goal of harnessing SUNY’s potential to drive economic revitalization and create a better future for every community across New York. As The Power of SUNY is put into action, the Chancellor is leading a diverse set of new initiatives at SUNY in several key areas, including research and innovation, energy, health care, global affairs, and the education pipeline. She has also been a vocal advocate for groundbreaking legislative reforms that ensure SUNY can continue to provide broad access to higher education in an environment of declining state support, while maximizing its impact as an engine of economic development. A former chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, Dr. Zimpher now leads the national Coalition of Urban Serving Universities and co-chairs a national blue-ribbon panel on transforming teacher preparation. She serves on the board of CEOs for Cities, is a member of the Business-Higher Education Forum, and the Board of Governors of the New York Academy of Sciences. Prior to coming to SUNY, Dr. Zimpher served as president of the University of Cincinnati, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-milwaukee, and executive dean of the Professional Colleges and dean of the College of Education at The Ohio State University. She has authored or co-authored numerous books, monographs, and academic journal articles on teacher education, urban education, academic leadership, and school/university partnerships. Chancellor Zimpher holds a bachelor’s degree in English Education and Speech, a master’s degree in English Literature, and a Ph.D. in Teacher Education and Higher Education Administration, all from The Ohio State University.
